Android 15 is bricking some Fairphone 5 devices, and here’s how you can avoid it

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR The Android 15 update is causing some Fairphone 5 phones to become bricked, but only if the fingerprint sensor is broken. A Fairphone rep confirmed stricter hardware checks in Android 15 are to blame. A fix is in the works, but for now, users with faulty sensors should avoid the update. For phone geeks like us, an OS update is usually exciting, but it doesn’t always go smoothly. Multiple reports suggest that the Android 15 update is causing some Fairpho

Despite Starlink’s Improved Speeds, It Still Misses the FCC’s Broadband Standard

Starlink is nearly twice as fast as it was two years ago, according to a recent report from the speed test site Ookla. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Median download speeds from the satellite internet provider have steadily ticked up over the past few years, going from 53.95 megabits per second in 2022 to 104.71Mbps today. That’s an impressive feat considering Starlink added about 5 million customers over the same period and recently passed the 6 mi

Xfinity vs. Verizon Fios: Which Provider Offers the Best Internet for Your Home?

Is Verizon Fios or Xfinity better? Verizon Fios and Xfinity are some of the top providers nationwide, and while both offer competitive internet services and price guarantee of up to five years, CNET picks Verizon Fios as the better provider overall --largely due to its 100% fiber network, straightforward pricing and promotional offers. The two providers advertise comparable download speeds, but Verizon Fios can deliver symmetrical (or close) upload speeds and superior reliability over a fiber-

Lego's new Game Boy set comes with swappable cartridges and gameplay screens

In a nutshell: Nintendo is slowly but surely bringing its classic game systems to the Lego universe. In 2020, the Japanese gaming giant partnered with the plastic construction toy company on a licensed version of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Now, the iconic Game Boy handheld is getting the Lego treatment, and it's far more affordable than the NES. The Lego Game Boy (model 72046) is a 421-piece kit that's a near 1:1 scale replica of Nintendo's original handheld. Despite the low piece count

Intel's 14A chip process in jeopardy, while cutting jobs and pulling back global expansion

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-12-26 17:18:00

Cutting corners: Intel's next leap in semiconductor manufacturing, known as the 14A process, now hangs in the balance. The company warned that it could slow down or even halt development of the advanced 1.4nm-class technology unless it secures a significant external customer and meets critical project milestones. This admission, made public in a regulatory filing, marks a notable shift for the chipmaker, which has traditionally set the pace for pushing leading-edge technologies but now risks ce

“That is quite unusual,” said a third private intelligence figure, adding that in the U.S. people are “very open” about having worked for the CIA. America has a “semi-retirement model where when you’re moving out of the agency, you’ll probably spend about six or seven years subcontracting back, and then you’ll finally move into the private sector.” “We don’t do things like that here at all.

jyn, what the fuck are you talking about a recurring problem in modern “low-level” languages is that they are hard to optimize. they do not reflect the hardware, they require doing complex alias analysis, and they constantly allocate and deallocate memory. they looked at the structure/expressiveness tradeoff and consistently chose expressiveness. what does a faster language look like consider this paper on stream fusion in Haskell. this takes a series of nested loops, each of which logically

Return of wolves to Yellowstone has led to a surge in aspen trees

Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995, over 60 years after their eradication from the national park. Yellowstone's wolves are helping a new generation of young aspen trees to grow tall and join the forest canopy — the first new generation of such trees in Yellowstone's northern range in 80 years. Gray wolves (Canis lupus) had disappeared from Yellowstone National Park by 1930 following extensive habitat loss, human hunting and government eradication programs. Without these top predat

Enlist (∊) is twice as fast in Dyalog 16.0 as it was in Dyalog 15.0. Pretty much across the board: ∊⍳100 is not going to be any faster, but whenever the argument is a nested array and the simple arrays it contains are reasonably small, there are huge performance improvements. How did we achieve the huge speedup?
